More than we hoped (less than we prayed)

More than we hoped (less than we prayed)

Were we

less than we hoped or

more than we prayed?

Condemned to a place

that is always the same.

Living the life while

a lies still a lie.

Fearing the fear that

the fear is inside.

Sentenced to live

in these hardest of days.

Were we

more than we hoped or

less than we prayed?
